Jidai Festival

-The Jidai Festival is being held today in Kyoto.-That festival is one of the three most famous festivals of Kyoto.However, comparing with the other two, the festival does only gaina lower reputation among people in Kyoto, because the history of the festival is rather young and it was started by a leadershipof the government, not of the people.Many people in Kyoto speak better of this evening's the Kurama Fire Festival than the Jidai Festival.-Anyway autumn is the good season to visit the Japanese oldcapital, where you can see many colorful festivals.-I think it is important for us to have festivals or annual events.They will become good refreshments in our daily life.

Welcome

I have a friend, Cai Guohua, who was born and brought up in Shanghai and now lives in Tokyo.
He is an outstanding artist who can draw the essence of the object.He always carries a sketchbook with him and makes rapid but vivid sketches of people whom he comes across every here and there, such as on a commuter train, at a coffee shop, in a park and so on.Those who he draws are very ordinary Japanese people, young and old, with thousands of murmurings in mind.In this site I will try to pick up some of those murmurings.
You may see his sketches as well as their actual feelings and thoughts in life.
